"What brainless idiots allowed this?" - lampposts in the middle of the road in Lamphun

just another example of the many people in autoritative positions without having the education to enable them - how did they get that job

It is a massive problem in Thailand and plays a major part in its lack of ability to address issues like the road carnage, every civil servant in this country (unless elected) should be forced to disclose their academic qualifications and if they don't have the required level of education - remove them

I understand it. I think it’s driven, in part, by some historical culture/societal “norms” as well as educational practices.

by that I mean, it is my opinion, that “free thinkers” or those that express opposing/individual option or who question (for good intentions and not purely as a disruptive/obstructionist practice) what is or what’s accepted - aren’t widely produced in this country nor are their behaviors cherished.

conformists tend to be what I see in Asia more often. I don’t mean that a conformist is overtly a bad thing... but I DO think that in some cases, it good to question “why are we doing this?” versus simply following what was said/given or done in the past.
